Caesars has some interesting over-under win totals for the NFC North
……………..
Being that the Packers are the defending NFC North Champions and haven't lost much in Free Agency, they should be favorite to win the division in the 2020 season unless something substantial happens ( to alter the division landscape ) before the start of the regular season.

Post-Draft 2020 Win-Loss Predictions for Every NFL Team
Detroit Lions
11 of 32
Super Bowl Odds: +6000
Ownership made a statement about the job statuses of general manager Bob Quinn and head coach Mike Patricia late in the 2019 term. Team brass will go into the season under pressure to win and push for a playoff spot.
Coming off an injury-marred 2019 campaign, quarterback Matthew Stafford will look to bounce back strong. He has the playmakers to threaten defenses deep and can simply hand off to bludgeon defensive lines.
Kenny Golladay, Marvin Jones Jr., Danny Amendola and T.J. Hockenson make up a solid pass-catching group. Rookie second-rounder D'Andre Swift will join Kerryon Johnson for a one-two combo in the backfield.
Stafford may have to rely on the ground attack more than usual. The Lions lost interior lineman Graham Glasgow. The front office rolled the dice on a five-year, $45 million deal for tackle Halapoulivaati Vaitai, who has started 20 games in four seasons. If he struggles, the pass protection could be shaky on the right side.
If Detroit has to lean on a ball-control offense to minimize pocket pressure on Stafford, the defense will need to perform a lot better than last year's group that ranked 26th in scoring and gave up the second-most yards.
Detroit selected Jeff Okudah with the No. 3 overall pick. He's a quality cornerback with great footwork. The Ohio State product will be tested because of the Lions' questionable pass rush. The club released Devon Kennard, who logged seven sacks last season.
Without a consistent pass-rusher to team up with defensive end Trey Flowers, the defense may surrender a lot of points. And Quinn and Patricia could be on the way out.
Prediction: 5-11
…………………….
If the Lions finish 5-11, there likely will be a new regime in place in 2021.
